Does it have to be identical for all forum members? I know that phpBB & SMF allow per user configuration of date & time formats. I will take care about my cultural habits by myself, just give me the opportunity

Is it possible to display time in 24h format? I have a feeling it was possible before I left for vacations, but I can be wrong.

24h format plus dd.mm.yyyy please

blah, I changed it to 24h and everyone whined, now I set it back... can't please everyone

Joking aside, the date format is quite irritating to those of us outside the U.S.. Decades of experience allow me understand "dd/mm/yy" instantly, but I have to think for a few seconds when I see "mm.dd.yy".

Wouldn't the best solution be an unambiguous format such as "03-Sep-2008"?

We understand and agree that everyone needs to get on board with our standards. :tongue2:

Two American tourists, Billy Ray and Bobby Joe (let's say), are shipwrecked and find themselves washed ashore on a remote Polynesian island. After scouting around they discover two things: they are likely stuck on the island for weeks or even years, and the natives spoke a strange and difficult language. A nervous Billy confides to Bobby, "Bobby Joe, this is gonna be hard ... real hard. We're gonna have to teach all these here folk how to speak English."

I wonder what the real percentage is, I believe there is a website that showed where people were hitting the forum from and the majority then was the US.

So true, hard to believe there are still places that don't speak English. Hey, English is not my first language, btw. I spoke French before learning English.
